“Teach us what we shall say unto him, etc.] To this wonder working God, of whose common works of nature we know so little; how we should reason with him about his works of Providence, when we know so little of these: [for] we cannot order [our speech] by reason of darkness; by reason of darkness in themselves, which is in all men naturally, and even in the saints in this state of imperfection; and by reason of the clouds and darkness which are about the Lord himself, who is incomprehensible in his nature and perfections; and by reason of the darkness cast about his providential dealings with men, so that they are unsearchable and past finding out; and the best of men are at a loss how to…”
